Interactive Narrative

Just about finished my Interactive Narrative project... slightly differently then I planned. When I tryed to finish the work from home, Iremembered I didnt have dreamweaver (retard).

So I came into the Waverly to use the nice big screened computers with Dreamweaver - helpfully, my card wouldnt let me into the room. Fantastic.

So I had to go and use the anoyingly small screened machines in 205 or wherever I ended up. These machines of course (dues to my luck that day) did not have Dreamweaver. Thank you IT staff. So, I hada couple of hours to finish my project on MS Frontpage (on which i had absolutly no experience), before rugby training. (Partly my fault i realise - not doing this sooner).

Having managed to complete what I wanted in the time on the 'alternate' program, I get into the seminar (having missed my 9.00 lecture (which I am sincerely sorry for) (however it was my first (proper) miss ever))) ...and Ifind out that I actually have another week to finish the project. Fantastic communication!

O well. Here we are:

I like my custom-made flashing arrows - from good old MS Paint (can I mention software names?) The arrows flash yellow when hovered over.

The benefit of using Frontpage in the end was that I learned an HTML tag for bringing up a message when holding the cursor over something (alt), which i used to display the information I scrapped together on each bar I had a flyer for.

Quite pleased how this has gone, but would have liked to have had a better idea so I could have used more skills... not sure what... just more advanced? Sounds, animations, video etc. Im sure ill get the chance soon.

Update

I'm finding this blogging lark a bit odd - writing about general experiences. Never done it before, as I did have the opinion that nobody cares what I think about such personal things, the same way I don't care about other people's.
However, I am now under the impression that this is pretty closley monitered by the multimedia staff, and we are partly assesed and judged by our comments on this - so I thought I'd start updating a bit more regularly!
